Fully drained and back-ventilated rainscreen facade system, with a choice of integrated panels which are fitted to the adjustable PSP Matrix-T carrier system.
Features and benefits:
- Allows ventilation and drainage to the cavity in line with standard rainscreen principles.
- Provides an aesthetically pleasing external envelope solution.
- Quick installation.
- Can be adapted to suit specific project requirements.
- Components such as insulation, membranes, and isolators can be incorporated - consult manufacturer for details.
- Available in a range of configurations.
- Developed to provide a cost effective single skin panel system, based on narrow face widths.
- Fully tested and accredited to Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT) standards including ‘Standard for walls with ventilated rainscreen’ and ‘Standard for testing of ventilated rainscreen'.
PSP Architectural have passed the following tests which are required by the CWCT for rainscreen systems:
- Wind resistance – serviceability.
- Wind resistance – safety.
- Water tightness – dynamic.
- Water tightness – hose.
- Impact resistance.
Consult manufacturer for further details.
Applications:
For fixing to a structural wall.
Only for installation by competent design/ installation contractors.
